So if I'm understanding correctly, I've done something very similar to this before. You can setup a cross-domain trust at the server level. Then for your clients, you can specify the krb5 at bootup of java/kinit either through an environment variable or something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30710283
Then these two things WOULD allow you to use something like spnego and that might solve your problems. To answer your question more directly, without SPNEGO, I don't see anything like that in the HBase configs but I'm maybe missing something. You're thinking about it backwards from how I usually think about it, which is fine. But if you flip it, there's an easier way, assuming you are cool running a knox gateway: use the knox gateway to sit in front of the HBase UI and block access except through the knox servers. There's a tutorial that MIGHT work here https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Community-Articles/Configure-Knox-to-access-HBASE-UI/ta-p/249399 although it's roughly similar to setting up any other knox gateway proxy.
